Self-styled moderate Democrats are pushing a future campaign message on the issue that defeated Kamala Harris: Don’t talk about migration.
Instead, Democrats should wrap themselves in the flag and patriotic imagery, says a five-page strategy memo drafted by Third Way, a pseudo-moderate Democrat group that held a post-election “Comeback Retreat” in February 2025:
Embrace patriotism, community, and traditional American imagery (e.g., farms, main streets).The memo mentions immigration once — but only to slam the GOP’s messaging on the issue: “Democrats often let Republicans set the terms of cultural debates (e.g., crime, immigration) instead of clearly defining their own positions in a way that resonates with voters.”
Politico published the memo, which says:
In early February 2025, Third Way gathered a group of highly experienced and passionate political professionals over 1.5 days to begin to chart the Democratic comeback. As part of this retreat, attendees participated in breakout sessions to deliberate on why Democrats are struggling with working-class voters around cultural issues, the nature of the economic trust gap with this critical group, and ideas for how to address both problems.The Third Way group likely leaked the memo to Politico, which described it as “centrist” in exchange.
One of the Third Way founders is Jim Kessler. He worked for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who has twice lost control of the Senate due to his corporate-backed, pro-migration policies.
In 2013, for example, Kessler backed the Gang of Eight amnesty and cheap-labor bill that cost the Democrats five seats in 2014. “This memo outlines the best way to reach the conflicted middle — using the key words tough, fair, and practical,” Kessler wrote.
Those poll-tested terms were widely used by President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, and by Kamala Harris’s pro-migration, investor-led 2024 campaign.

Or hey, lie harder about our intentions.
Bill Engvall is right the Dems should have to wear a sign that says “I’m Stupid”.
They will deny they mean to open the border again. How do we make sure people understand Democrats are open borders.
The Democrats will soon find that their kooky, America-hating base splinters off.
as long as they are being genuine
SNARK
Trump is doing that right now
the contrast is striking
Hollywood tried that scam once, and it backfired:
So candidate X, why did every one of you Democrat in Congress vote again ending taxes on Social Security benefits, over time hours and tips?
So why should we believe all these words and images when your party actions in Congress Since Jan 2025 have been 100% oppose to making average Americans lives better?
“Moderate” Demoncraps are still to the far left.
Heck, I don’t even know where the “center” is anymore.. I think it went over the cliff with the Demoncraps.
The democrat plan has always been “campaign as a conservative, legislate as a liberal.”
The Democrats have the far left who admit they are far left and “moderates” who are far left and lie about it.
Good luck not talking about illegal invaders.
And con citizens that their 'protesters' aren't really "Rent a Mob" goons...but normal citizens. They're not.
And that democrats care about citizens. They don't.
It's all a lie and a con and the only people stupid and vile enough to carry their lies and water are members of the MSM - the corrupt US press.
Oh, and democrats pay people to attend their rallies because not enough people like them enough to attend.
“Embrace … traditional American imagery”
But not traditional American values.
This! Democrats = Fraud.
…and definitely don’t talk about ILLEGAL ALIENS.
“Democrats often let Republicans set the terms of cultural debates (e.g., crime, immigration) instead of clearly defining their own positions in a way that resonates with voters.”
But they did do that. It just didn’t “resonate” the way they wanted it to.

A “moderate Democrat” is as oxymoronic as a “patriotic traitor”.
